Lawrence was initially cast first as Katniss Everdeen, the leading lady. Gale is Katniss' good friend and hunting partner, while Peeta is more of a love interest. I personally fond of these two front-runners, Hutcherson and Hemsworth seem to be fit for the roles. In the other hand I am actually questioning about Alex Pettyfer's involvement in this coveted casting call, since he was not in the list of actors tested with Lawrence at the end of last month.
"The Hunger Games" is a book-to-movie adaptation from Suzanne Collins' best-selling series. If this first film is successfull, Lionsgate will likely extend the contract to continue Katniss' journey in "Catching Fire", and finally "Mockingjay". Set in the post-apocalyptic era in Northern America, the country is now separated by districts and run by a shadowy government. The Hunger Games is an annual governmental event in which they select random 24 teenagers to fight each other to death, and there's only one winner. Katniss comes to the front to protect her sister Prim who was initially selected to play, and she finally meets Peeta who joins her adventure to run and reveal the government's evil intention.
The film adaptation will be directed by Gary Ross and set to release on March 23, 2012.
